Cocktails & vinyl culture in Dupont Circle's intimate lounge
"The Paris, Tokyo cocktail marries vodka with lychee, yuzu sake, lemon, and bergamot for a decidedly botanical finish." - Lulu Chang
"Press Club in Dupont Circle, from the beverage director of Bresca and Jônt, offers two menus—the seasonal Play List, and the a la carte Track List, featuring tempura dishes, katsu sandos, and fried chicken karaage, as well as a lengthy cocktail menu." - omnia saed
"A record-and-cocktail–slinging Dupont Circle listening bar is hosting an array of award-winning visiting bartenders on Monday nights from 6 to 10 p.m. throughout May and June, with each visiting bar creating a cocktail tasting menu and a la carte options with the in-house team. Nashville’s Dolly Parton–themed White Limozeen will craft drinks on May 26, Houston speakeasy Bandista visits on June 23, and Miami hotspot Bar Kaiju on June 30; the bar is also still serving a tasting menu inspired by Arctic Monkeys’ album AM every other night." - Emily Venezky
"A vinyl-obsessed bar collaborating with head bartender Tsune Imada for a special night of IWA Sake-based cocktails, including a cocktail flight paired with bites from chef Ryan Ratino." - Emily Venezky
"A pair of East Coast mixology masterminds gifted Dupont a subterranean cocktail den with a knack for throwback tracks. The hot new bar that dropped in December is a collaboration between Will Patton — the beverage director behind D.C.’s Michelin-starred duo Bresca and Jônt — and Devin Kennedy, a NYC bar vet most recently in charge of East Village’s hip hangout Pouring Ribbons. Cocktails served on mini vinyl coasters include a French Waltz with green Chartreuse, pisco, riesling, and lime. Taking tips from A and B sides of an album, Press Club will offer two congruent menus at once. Food is also fabulous here, from beer-soaked nuts to chicken karaage served in crystal plateware." - Emily Venezky
